Elderly onset rheumatoid arthritisUltrasonographyThe glenohumeral joints of 32 patients (aged 60 or above) were examined using ultrasonography. Thirteen patients were suffering from characteristic polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) symptoms. In contrast 19 other patients initially had similar complaints, but were ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, inflammatory disorder affecting primarily women with a peak incidence between 30 and 50 years of age and an average age of onset of 55 years. 20 At this time, one third of patients acquire RA after the age of 60, and the prevalence increases with...
Treatment of secondary causes was also effective for controlling CU in the elderly. Thirty-nine studies described the treatment of secondary causes and the outcomes of treatment (Figure 2andTable 4). More specifically, the following treatments, prescriptions, or procedures improved CU symptoms in the...
(HealthDay)—Elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) is a risk factor for bone erosions, even with clinical disease remission, according to a study published in the June issue of the International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases.
Serum cytidine deaminase (CD) as a marker of inflammatory disease was assessed in 44 patients and 47 controls to differentiate polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) from elderly onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA). The patients were divided into four groups: PMR with and without synovitis and seropositive and...

Ranson advocates supportive treatment of GSP until the symptoms have ...
In recent studies using single-cell analysis, the importance of clonally expanded cytotoxic T cells in the pathogenesis of this disease has been reported.[1,2] On the other hand, RA exhibits heterogeneity such as age of onset, seropositivity of autoantibodies, and extra-articular involvements, ...
